[QUOTE="IanMCG, post: 142573, member: 197693"] Nowadays I travel regularly from the UK to León, northern Spain. I decided to get a 135cm dish installed and the techno with his Echostar box and 48% quality and 50% strength got a great reception and picture with the free to view channels. However, on a recent 4-day trip I took my Panasonic box and SKY card over and even though we spent an hour readjusting the dish and getting approx 60% quality and strength there were real problems in viewing FTV and channels on transborder 2D. The techno reckons that with a much better box it would be alright. However, he also thinks new good quality receivers with a SKY videocrypt decoder capability are not generally available in Spain. As the receiver is to stay in Spain (I just want to travel with my SKY card in my top pocket as it were) I would have preferred to have bought it there for warranty purposes. But beggars can´t be choosers and I am going to purchase a receiver here in the UK, so I would like to ask you all out there for your opinions on receivers of sufficient quality that would work out well given my situation. I thank you all in advance for your comments, Best wishes, Ian [/QUOTE]
